I'm on vacation down in ft lauderdale Florida and I was searching for some parts for my hatch and i found a block for 50 bucks so i grabbed it. now I am planning on rebuilding another motor so whats the cheapest set of forged rods and pistons i can go with? my goal is 250-300hp. What crank should i use as well as a head? i was thinking of going with a zc head and rebuilding it or possibly just rebuilding a d15b7 head? let me know what you guys think and any help is greatly appreciated.

- Fri Aug 08, 2008 6:36 pm #65198 This is a 1.5L D motor and you want to make 250-300? Either NA or FI the cheapest rods and pistons won't be what you want. Making that much power reliably will take a moderate amount of investment at best.
